The geometric approach signifies the rigour and dicipline essential for any kind of development and growth.

At the centre is a solid square which portrays the institute and its strong inter-linkages with the external world, as seen by the four connecting routs to the outer octagonal shape. Four honey-combed shapes surrounding the solid square represent the key stakeholders- State, Civil Society, Markets, and the Community.

The leaf-like structures on all four corners signify an open book, strengthening the perception of an academic institution. The circles along with the leaves represent the blossoming of empowered graduates with an integrated learning of perspectives, operational competencies, and contextual understanding. The sharp yet dynamic form represents discipline, excellence, and mindful alertness.

Set in an earthly terracotta color, the symbol portrays rootedness and humility with commitment to impart good education, that applied right, ushers in progressive well-being.
